We have two new songs in the rotation from recently released CD’s.

The first song, right in time for Christmas, is titled “All I Want For Christmas Is You”. This is a bonus song from a new CD release by “Jack Mack & The Heart Attack” titled “The Best Of Jack Mack & The Heart Attack” which was released this November. The CD includes songs such as “Hooray For The City”, “Cardiac Party”, and “A Whiter Shade of Pale”, as well as other Jack Mack favorites.

10. Would boost ratings among normal people with real jobs.

9. No one else has the wisdom/cajones to book them, he would have an exclusive.

8. If he wants to break the late night color barrier, no one is more colorful than TOP.

7. Lopez mentions TOP in one of his routines, SVHTG makes him cry, (mas p)…

6. Equally as attractive as, yet, much more fashionable than Los Lobos.

5. Time for G Lo to pay it forward, give some OG’s a soul shake break.

4. Blow his band, with the exception of TOP Alum Bill Churchville, off the stage.

3. Sometime Hipness is what it is, not what the suits say it is.

2. Crime rate in Oakland will drop like a rock for one night.

1. Eric Estrada would get really, really, really mad.
